00:00:13.243 --> 00:00:19.275
In this section, I'm going to talk about the concept of the Transbondary and Serial Heritage.

2
00:00:19.650 --> 00:00:23.419
Well, in terms of the Transbondary Heritage.

3
00:00:23.712 --> 00:00:27.104
these properties are a continuous land or sea area

4
00:00:27.424 --> 00:00:33.120
which extends across the borders of two or more adjoining States Parties.

5
00:00:33.952 --> 00:00:38.112
The advantages of Transboundary properties include the ability

6
00:00:38.368 --> 00:00:43.680
to incorporate in a single property all of the area and attributes

7
00:00:43.936 --> 00:00:46.112
which convey Outstanding Universal Value,

8
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.464
irrespective of current political boundaries.

9
00:00:50.912 --> 00:00:56.480
Such properties may help to reflect and encourage inter -national

10
00:00:56.992 --> 00:01:02.048
and peaceful cooperation on the shared heritage of countries.

11
00:01:02.716 --> 00:01:05.020
So preparing a nomination form

12
00:01:05.020 --> 00:01:07.874
This tranboundry heritage

13
00:01:07.874 --> 00:01:13.596
and ongoing protection and management can require additional effort

14
00:01:13.596 --> 00:01:17.564
because of the need for coordination and cooperation

15
00:01:17.756 --> 00:01:22.364
between the institutional arrangements of different countries.

16
00:01:23.196 --> 00:01:28.764
There may be differences in protection and management mechanisms available in each country,

17
00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.628
as well as differences in the availability of resources

18
00:01:34.012 --> 00:01:37.468
for site management, presentation and conservation.

19
00:01:38.044 --> 00:01:42.204
To address such issues, the Operational Guidelines recommend

20
00:01:42.460 --> 00:01:49.308
a joint management committee or similar body to advise on the management of the property.

21
00:01:50.076 --> 00:01:52.700
The second concept is a serial heritage

22
00:01:53.212 --> 00:01:58.780
which are a series of individual or discrete components areas

23
00:01:59.292 --> 00:02:02.748
which are not contained within a single boundary.

24
00:02:03.196 --> 00:02:09.340
Components may be quite close or geographically remote,

25
00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:13.436
but all components are within a single country.

26
00:02:13.948 --> 00:02:17.468
Transnational serial properties are discussed below.

27
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:25.148
Well, the serious property will include two or more components,

28
00:02:25.532 --> 00:02:28.412
part related by the clear defined links.

29
00:02:28.924 --> 00:02:32.956
The first Component parts should reflect cultural,

30
00:02:33.212 --> 00:02:36.924
social or functional links over time that provide,

31
00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:45.180
where relevant, landscape, ecological, evolutionary or habitat connectivity.

32
00:02:45.756 --> 00:02:46.524
The second,

33
00:02:47.356 --> 00:02:52.732
Each component part should contribute to the Outstanding Universal Value of the property

34
00:02:53.116 --> 00:03:00.540
as a whole in a substantial, scientific, readily defined and discernible way,

35
00:03:00.988 --> 00:03:03.612
and may include, amongst other things, intangible attributes.

36
00:03:03.868 --> 00:03:08.988
The resulting Outstanding Universal Value should be easily understood and communicated.

37
00:03:10.012 --> 00:03:17.884
Serial properties will include two or more components related by the clear defined links.

38
00:03:18.652 --> 00:03:21.660
and also constantly and in order to

39
00:03:21.916 --> 00:03:28.252
avoid an extensive fragmentation of components parts,the process of nomination of the property,

40
00:03:28.636 --> 00:03:31.132
including the selection of the component parts,

41
00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:38.172
should take fully into account the overall manageability and coherence of the property.

42
00:03:39.644 --> 00:03:44.316
So a series of property can overcome the temptation to

43
00:03:44.508 --> 00:03:50.012
try and create a single boundary encompassing all components,

44
00:03:50.396 --> 00:03:55.516
thereby including not areas that have no attribute of outstanding Universal Value.

45
00:03:56.348 --> 00:04:01.788
Such an approach can make the nomination more complicated

46
00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:06.268
because of the range of discrete areas to be included,

47
00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:10.620
as each has to be addressed within the nomination dossier.

48
00:04:11.196 --> 00:04:16.700
In addition, protection, conservation and management can be more complex

49
00:04:17.148 --> 00:04:23.484
because different mechanisms may apply to the different discrete components,

50
00:04:23.868 --> 00:04:27.196
even when they are within the same country.

51
00:04:28.092 --> 00:04:31.420
To address such issues, the Operational Guidelines note that

52
00:04:31.804 --> 00:04:36.860
coordinated management of the separate components is very essential.

53
00:04:37.564 --> 00:04:44.412
In some cases, a serious poverty approaches may be appropriate adopted in order to

54
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:49.660
reasonably draw component boundaries which are too restrictive.

55
00:04:50.556 --> 00:04:53.756
So the values, authenticity and integrity

56
00:04:53.948 --> 00:04:59.132
should determine the appropriate boundaries and appreciation of the serious approach.

57
00:05:00.975 --> 00:05:04.900
So I will give several examples.

58
00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:09.950
The first one is the Tusi site in southwest of China,

59
00:05:10.111 --> 00:05:13.119
so located in the mountain area of the southwest china.

60
00:05:13.119 --> 00:05:21.150
This property encompasses remains of several tribal domains whose chiefs were appointed

61
00:05:21.150 --> 00:05:29.951
by the central government as ‘Tusi’, hereditary rulers from the 13th to the early 20th century.

62
00:05:30.244 --> 00:05:37.284
The Tusi system arose from the ethnic minorities’ dynastic systems

63
00:05:37.604 --> 00:05:42.980
of government dating back to the 3rd century BCE.

64
00:05:43.492 --> 00:05:48.548
Its purpose was to unify national administration,

65
00:05:48.676 --> 00:05:55.524
while allowing ethnic minorities to retain their customs and way of life.

66
00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:01.668
The sites of Laosicheng, Tangya and Hailongtun Fortress that

67
00:06:01.924 --> 00:06:07.556
make up the site bear exceptional testimony to this form of governance,

68
00:06:08.004 --> 00:06:13.444
which derived from the Chinese civilization of the Yuan and Ming periods.

69
00:06:14.084 --> 00:06:17.988
So the Tusi site based on the criterion 2，

70
00:06:18.820 --> 00:06:25.156
just have a look at the Tusi sites. some pictures about that the criterion 2 ，

71
00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:31.620
the Tusi site of Laoshichen Tangya and Hailongtun fortress clearly

72
00:06:32.004 --> 00:06:35.140
exhibit the interchange of human values

73
00:06:35.396 --> 00:06:38.725
between local ethnic cultures of Southwest China,

74
00:06:38.924 --> 00:06:45.068
and national identity expressed through the structures of the central government

75
00:06:48.076 --> 00:06:51.468
The criterion 3，The sites of Laosicheng,

76
00:06:51.916 --> 00:06:57.612
Tangya and the Hailongtun Fortress are evidence of the Tusi system of governance

77
00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.916
in the South-western region of China

78
00:07:00.428 --> 00:07:04.844
and thus bear exceptional testimony to this form of governance

79
00:07:05.292 --> 00:07:11.820
which derived from earlier systems of ethnic minority administration in China,

80
00:07:12.396 --> 00:07:15.916
and to the Chinese civilisation in the Yuan, Ming and Qing periods.

81
00:07:17.196 --> 00:07:24.492
The other significant issue is about the serial heritage and transnational heritage .

82
00:07:25.004 --> 00:07:30.636
So a serial property transnational is another form of serial property

83
00:07:31.212 --> 00:07:35.756
but in this case components are located in more than one country.

84
00:07:36.268 --> 00:07:38.572
The advantages and problems of

85
00:07:38.764 --> 00:07:44.716
such a property are similar to those outlined for transboundary properties and serial properties.

86
00:07:49.196 --> 00:07:57.388
Well, these pictures show photographs of about the other normal national properties

87
00:07:57.580 --> 00:08:00.396
just listed in the one region,

88
00:08:01.036 --> 00:08:07.884
this transbondary heritage, maybe across two countries or three countries.

89
00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:13.772
And this is about the series of National property ，

90
00:08:14.092 --> 00:08:16.140
just like the Tusi site I mentioned.

91
00:08:16.332 --> 00:08:21.900
They listed are in three separated areas in Guizhou, Hunan and Hubei.

92
00:08:22.732 --> 00:08:26.188
And this is about serial transational properties

93
00:08:26.764 --> 00:08:34.700
which may be separated and listed in different area and different countries.

94
00:08:35.468 --> 00:08:37.068
So in this section,

95
00:08:37.452 --> 00:08:42.508
I mainly talk about the issue of the transboundry and serial heritage
